Street Fighter 5 Available for Pre-Load on Steam

Get ready for battle a little early.

A new challenger approaches – or rather, Capcom’s Street Fighter 5 is almost here. The PC version is available now for pre-load on Steam. This means you can download the full game now and be ready to play it as soon as it launches on Steam.

Street Fighter 5 will also be coming to the PS4 on February 16th – with the street date having been broken by many retailers – and brings both old and new characters together for fisticuffs galore. Capcom has added its fair share of new additions to the game such as the V-Gauge allowing players to pull off unique moves, counters and powerful attacks. Expect Supers to make a return as well if the flashy, brutal battle sequences for each character has been any indication thus far.

Street Fighter 5 will also be the first game in the series to support cross-platform play between the PS4 and PC. Will you be picking it up? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
